"Does anyone have any objections?" Li Zhirui asked with a smile that seed very amiable.
But the more he did so, the more terrified everyone beca!
Although Li Zhirui was mysterious, and little was known about him in the outside world—only that he was a third-ranking Alchemist—no matter how one looked at it, he was a Golden Core cultivator!
To a Golden Core, Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishnt were no more than ants by the roadside, easily crushed underfoot. How could he possibly converse with them in such a friendly manner?
"No objections!"
"We must thank you for your generosity, True Immortal, for allowing us to live within a third-grade Spirit Vein."
"Yes, indeed."
The others quickly chid in, with no one daring to speak ill of Li Zhirui or the Li family.
"That's very good!" Seeing everyone's understanding, Li Zhirui nodded in satisfaction and said, "As compensation, each migrating clan will receive ten thousand Spirit Stones, as well as the qualification to purchase a Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
The Spiritual dicine for Foundation Establishnt cultivated by the Li family would mature in less than ten years, and with his current alchemy skills, it wasn't to say that he could achieve an eighty or ninety percent success rate, but producing six or seven Foundation Establishnt Pills per batch should be no issue.
Originally, the Li family had obtained ten mature batches of Foundation Establishnt Spiritual dicine with Spirit Seeds, and Li Zhirui, as an Alchemist, had used up a few batches, leaving about fifty to sixty batches of Spirit Seeds.
So of the Spiritual dicine had died for various reasons, and in the end, there were likely to be about fifty-three batches. Assuming a sixty percent success rate, the Li family could produce three hundred eighteen Foundation Establishnt Pills!
In reality, the number would be far greater! Li Zhirui was very confident in his current alchemy skills, and no matter how difficult it was to refine, a Foundation Establishnt Pill was only a second-grade Spirit Pill.
In addition, Li Zhirui's space was still holding about ten to twenty batches of Foundation Establishnt Spiritual dicine; these were leftovers from when he attempted to concoct Foundation Establishnt Pills and used space to hasten the ripening of the Spiritual dicine.
When the ti ca, even if Li Zhirui took out four hundred Foundation Establishnt Pills, it would be very easy, and such a large number of pills was more than the Li family could consu in a short period.
Of course, the Li family wouldn't refine so many Foundation Establishnt Pills all at once, as even the best-sealed Spirit Pills would lose their potency over ti.
What Li Zhirui was doing now was using the Foundation Establishnt Pills that were originally ant to be sold as compensation to make the various clans willing to relocate to Green Sword Mountain.
This purchasing qualification was also advantageous to them, at least saving a considerable sum of Spirit Stones that they would otherwise have to spend bidding against others.
Perhaps for the Li family, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones weren't much, with even the monthly allowances for their clan mbers far exceeding this figure, but for those Foundation Establishnt clans, it was a significant sum!
So, no sooner had Li Zhirui's words fallen than all the powers eagerly stood up, keen to express their willingness to move to Green Sword Mountain.
"Hmm," Li Zhirui acknowledged, then turned to Li Chengmo and said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave the rest for you to handle."
"Chengmo understands!"
Although Li Chengmo was only in the early stages of Foundation Establishnt, not a single person dared to underestimate him, simply because he was the Li family's Clan Leader and, in a certain sense, could represent the Li family!
Li Zhirui didn't pay any further attention to the matter afterward, leaving everything to Li Chengmo and the Elders. He believed in their abilities to handle everything to perfection!
Indeed, that was the case!
Before long, the various clans began to move, and a large number of forces flowed into Green Sword Mountain, helping the Li family guard the area.
Thereafter, for so ti, Yunping State witnessed many migrating groups, so traveling in Spirit-controlled Flying Ships soaring through the sky, others forming armies rushing across the land.
As for their original clan territory and mountain gates, they remained theirs; after all, the Li family couldn't possibly drive away every minor power—if they did, the Li family would beco isolated and friendless!
Moreover, the Li family couldn't spare enough hands to manage so many Spirit Veins. In the end, it was because the Li family had risen too quickly and in such a short ti, their foundation wasn't deep enough.
Even since Li Zhirui started acting as the Acting Clan Leader, the Li family began to vigorously encourage childbirth and provided a wealth of benefits and subsidies, yet their numbers were still far less than those of the old established Golden Core families.
But such matters couldn't be rushed; they could only be waited out patiently.

"I'm sorry, this happened so suddenly..."
Jiang Fengwu shook her head, interrupting his words, saying, "No need to apologize, I can understand, it's just that so things are too dangerous. In the future, when you must do them, you need to tell in advance, to spare the constant worry."
"Okay!" Li Zhirui was stunned for a mont before breaking into a smile.
Strangely enough, although the two had been in an ambiguous relationship for a long ti, they had only been together for a few days; yet they gave each other a feeling of mutual comfort and support.
"I'm planning to tell the elders about this and then start arranging our wedding, what do you think?" Li Zhirui asked, sowhat nervously.
He didn't know why he felt nervous. Was it because he was worried that Jiang Fengwu would reject him?
"But..." There was a flicker of joy in Jiang Fengwu's eyes, which was quickly replaced by worry as she said, "What if the elders in your family don't like ?"
"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn't help but burst into laughter. Seeing that Jiang Fengwu was about to get really angry, he quickly explained, "The elders have been wanting to bring us together for a long ti now. Now that you agree to join the Li family, they will be overjoyed!"
Not to ntion, Jiang Fengwu's status as a Golden Core cultivator was sufficient to win their approval.
"Don't worry! Uncle and the others won't refuse."
With Li Zhirui's assurance, Jiang Fengwu's worries lessened a bit, and she excitedly began to discuss her dream wedding.
"Alright, I will do my best to et your requests," Li Zhirui replied, his face full of indulgence.
He wouldn't be like others, who promise everything only to ultimately fail to deliver, disappointing everyone.
Rather than that, it was better to manage expectations from the start, then do his utmost to fulfill them, which in turn, would surprise her.
As the evening deepened, the sun dipped toward the horizon.
"I should be going now." Although the two of them were already together, they had not yet married and hadn't crossed that final threshold.
For cultivators, this step was very important, of course, excluding those profligate ones.
Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu were both Golden Core cultivators, having powerful Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang energies within them. When they practiced dual cultivation, their energies would rge, which could enhance their mana and even allow for further advancent!
Thanks to his years of arduous cultivation, Li Zhirui was now at the peak of the early Golden Core phase. He had a premonition that on his wedding day, he would naturally break through.
Jiang Fengwu, due to insufficient accumulation, would have stopped at the early phase of Golden Core but also save several years of cultivation.
"Okay, be careful on your way." Jiang Fengwu moved slightly but hesitated to leave Li Zhirui's embrace.
"Hehe." Li Zhirui leaned in close to her ear, his warm breath rapidly heating up the room...
